My Grandfather was an honourable man.

My Grandfather was an honourable man.

He told me that if I did not learn something every day of my life, I could end up going backwards. He was a Master Painter and Signwriter and he took pride in every thing he did. As a Freemason, he was Grand Master of the Lodge of Rectitude, and his word was his bond. He wore lace-up boots and was impeccably groomed. He never hit anyone and his razor strap was only ever used for sharpening his razor.He loved, and positively encouraged everyone that came in contact with him.

There are some other people that one encounters, that have never met, nor been influenced by such a man. Perhaps they may have, but never recognized, positive spirit, positive energy, positive human endeavours that influence and support the growing, developing spirit of little ones and those who foster, nurture and bless them. Such beings can act like the snake, attempting to win their way in the universe by bringing others down. Down to their level.

If one is sometimes at a low point in life, let it not be that one has allowed themself to be reduced to another's low level. Recognize the negative, human emotions that others may display and never let them beat you by succumbing to their anger, hatred, jealousy nor retribution. You could end up inside the snake who will just lie in the sun and dream of her next victim.

eeeww. I came to see what beauty would grace me on your site today and now I am standing on my chair! I am with Lynn.. for the most part girls do not like snakes!

On another note, my mother always told me that if you let someones negativity affect you then they have control over you and your behavior. I try to keep those words in mind when dealing with difficult "snakes/people".

Sage words from mon cher mari ce soir. We lost a little sugar glider tonight - a harmless little possum who eats lillipillies and acorns; the victim of another predator. I'm quite upset about that.Never be frightened of snakes girls, you should visit Australia Zoo and Terri and Bindi will set you straight. Crikey!

WELCOME TO THE WIDE BROWN LAND, A LAND OF SWEEPING PLAINS, OF RAGGED MOUNTAIN RANGES, OF DROUGHTS AND FLOODING RAINS. HERE IS THE LAND DOWN UNDER AND ADELAIDE, CAPITAL CITY OF SUNNY SOUTH AUSTRALIA. PLEASE ENJOY MY CITY, AND FROM TIME TO TIME, I SHALL TAKE YOU TO THE "BACK OF BEYOND".
